Summer Berry Tart

Once a month the ladies in my Sunday School Class have Ladies Night Out. We go to a restaurant, eat, laugh and eat dessert. Edna and I take the dessert. Edna’s nice about taking care of the Ladies of the FOLD. It was National Selfie Day so of course we had to participate.

You can’t imagine how many shots it took to get one shot of everyone in the picture. Girlfriend isn’t good with a selfie stick……..

Edna and I baked a Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Icing. I placed it in the fridge to keep it cool and happy and did not take it out in time to bring it to room temperature. I am struggling with the middle aged ‘mush brain’, can’t remember squat!! So we ate cold cake with cold buttercream. The upside is, I didn’t bring a crumb of it home. The Ladies of the FOLD will eat anything!

This Berry Tart is super easy to make with store bought puff pastry. That’s half the battle right there. The blueberries are peaking and I am baking with them every day. This dessert isn’t super sweet, so you know what that means…..you can eat MORE!

Put this on your Fourth of July grocery list. It comes together quickly and you can use up those berries!!

Love ya,

Jody and Edna
